temple pressure

[holy reality]

great post!

so which state is the normal state of "paralysis"

I've never been able to find an acceptable answer... REM is said to be in beta-alpha, which boggles me since I mean, I'M IN BETA RIGHT NOW ! So.... I've heard paralysis is delta... I've heard it's theta... I've heard alpha is near paralysis...

But I can't quite get consistent answers....

REM = paralysis, there may in fact be paralysis in other states though, maybe just simply tuning consciousness away from the body creates a paralysis to keep yourself from acting out what you are doing, and you do not have to be in a traditional REM, I do not know...

So anyway.... do you know a lot about neurology ? Does staying in a dream for too long (longer than your body wants) deplete seratonin? Is that depletion not immediately made up for in light sleep following lucid activity? Does OBEing etc cause seratonin depletion?

Does taking a "catnap" where you waver in/out consciousness a lot then feel sort of semi "rested" and getting up replenish your seratonin supply? Does it make things worse?

Hmm..... so many questions I have.....

Yes it's very frustrating, I know what you're talking about. To directly hit the REM sleep from awake is one of the main goal of my pratice at these times, because if you're able to do this, you can project at any time. Be ready for my simple method to come.

Frankly, I don't know. Who knows. But trust me, it's not important. For example, sometimes I'm able to sustain a dream for up to 1-2 hours by 10-20 episode of reseparation, then, after awakening, I've found myself in a state like stoned a little, but no problem whatsoever. If you're able to manipulate your state FROM INSIDE, brain states will change accordingly, so my neurologist friends are free to hang up themselves.

quote:I've heard paralysis is delta...

It's not so simple. The brain is composed of various functional units, and a loosely manner, we can associate a specific frequency range for each of them. These frequencies are superimposed and averaged, but only those activities are manifested in the EEG, which measured on the cortex cells. The EEG can show that you are in delta sleep, but at the same time, structures deep inside your brain could be operate at the gamma band. So, bringing your general arousal to any level from gamma to delta couldn't garantee the paralysis to occur.

The paralysator signal is come from the brainstem. If you want to manipulate a brainstem structure by binaural beats you have to use a carrier frequency app. 100Hz. Unfortunately, the binaural technology couldn't be sophisticated enough to further isolate your target. For instance, I've make some research on the Gateway samples and found that the amplitudo of the 100Hz carrier is modulated by a period which can be easily an attempt to regulate the firing of neurons associated with breathing process. So you can't paralyse yourself by simply choosing a specific set of carriers, but you're able to FACILITATE specific ASCs to emerge.

In delta sleep, when real OBEs are occur (I'm not talking about pseudo-OBE LDs of WILDs/"phasing"), your body is definately not in paralysis, albeit the muscle tone is very low. There are simply no motor orders have to be supressed. Metabolic activity of the brain reach its minimum, and cortical structures which serve as basis for your cognitive activity at waking now firing in sync, make the brain a very unpleasent place for your consciousness to reside in. So, you forced to pop out accompained by the famous vibrations.

I think you're right. If I'm able to turn my attention away from my body for enough time, SOREM will occur. Omega Stick Man Method can do it very well - especially if you practice it in the third part of your sleep, when the circadian process of REM is ready to manifest.  

Now, we have to deal with the practical aspects.

Thanks your feedback...

Apologies for the previous incorrect info, the supposed breath regulation carrier in the TMI Gateway F12 material is @ 50Hz (not 100Hz as I wrote above), modulated by the average ventillation ratio of T=1/16 min in the left ear's tone, and T=1/32 min in the right. I simply don't get the reason of those double stimulation.

The depth of amplitudo modulation is presumably somewhere 67%-100%, oscillating at the midlevel of local noise profil. Because I'm unable to see any binaural beats at this carrier frequency, it's seems to be a monoaural stimulation of the respiratory "center" in the brainstem. The tested samples got via DC++, in 44100 KHz 128kbps stereo mp3 format.

Signs of the preseparation stages are various from a simple sense of 'knowing' to those unmistakable feelings of pulsation inside the head or pressur on the temples/ears. These feelings are accommpanied by buzzing and other weird noises, even music. I've found the temple-pressure & noises to be the most common herald of OBEs. Concentration on these noises could help enormously to build up the state required for the separation.

I'm suppose that these noises are caused by gamma activity in the temporal lobes of the brain where the auditory cortex reside. I have had great times playing with the inner music, convert it to various pieces I like, to eventually reach a point where I'm able to find that it's the noise of the "ear pressure" in guise.

While the noises and vibrations should be the primer experience (caused by thalamocortical syncronisation of deep sleep), voices and music should be the byproducts of an interpretatory process triggered by the increased activity in the non-primer sensory areas of the auditory cortex.

Take a look at this picture:




It is possible, that this state is beneficial for contacting spirit guides and likes, but in my practice there are no evidence for that. Also, a couple of recordings I made, have failed to confirm the radio broadcast hypothesis. Altrough, the direct perception of radio signals has a possibility, you may find my hypothesis to be much more simple.

Perhaps the temporal regios are chakras by itself, or they are part of the crown or brow system. To regard these brain parts as single chakras seems to me one of those great simplification which make the confusion even more profound when you try to work with them. Head chakras are electromagnetic structures built upon the work of reverberating neural networks.

It seems to me, that the main activity of the frontal lobes move to the temporal ones as we reach the pre-OBE state from waking, resulted in a schizophrenoid state (the state I like to be in).
